Abstract
InDEC (Innovative Dutch Electro Ceramics) is an HC Starck and ECN owned company that produces planar electrolyte-supported cells (ESC) and anode-supported cells (ASC). InDEC aims to offer cost-effective flat plate cutting edge SOFC technology. At present the planar SOFC component production takes place at the pilot manufacturing plant located in the Netherlands. Since acquiring the majority InDEC shares, HC Starck has built up a significant production technology activity in order to increase production capacity and to reduce manufacturing costs. A (semi)-automated quality controlled SOFC manufacturing plant is being set up in Selb, Germany. InDEC is also continuously improving the intrinsic product properties by R&D efforts focusing on improved cell performance for ESC and high mechanical strength for ASC. As a result, InDEC has introduced two new planar SOFC products, namely a newly formulated high performance ESC cell comprising a TZ3Y electrolyte having reduced thickness, and a new ASC cell having doubled mechanical strength.
